Kamal Shalorus prepares for his WEC 49 Main Event fight vs. Jamie Varner  at the Hayabusa Training Centre Ltd.

 

 

 

 

 

"I spent a few days in Edmonton Alberta Canada in preparation for the June 20 WEC main event: Shalorus v Varner. The guys at the Hayabusa Gym, not mention Shalorus and his team, were kind enough to give me open access to their workouts and their fighter. Here's a brief snippet I pieced together between workouts and press conferences."

Mixed martial arts - or MMA - is a fast-moving, fast-growing sport. It combines boxing, wrestling and traditional martial arts with the leverage techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With live, monthly events held across the globe, the sport draws a worldwide audience. The fighters themselves also come from around the world -- like Iranian-born Kamal Shalorus. VOA's Arash Arabasadi spent time with Shalorus in Canada as he prepared for the biggest fight of his career.
